Bill Tyson's Auto Repair, Wellington
I drive a Prius and I was having issues which I later found out were battery issues. Yikes!
I went to two different shops one being the Toyota dealership and the price and time to replace and install was ridiculous.
Bill Tyson's in Wellington took 1 day and saved me big money on the battery situation.
I was referred to them by my friend Ellen who had an issue with her Nissan and said the prices and warranties by these guys can NOT be beat!
No kidding - new and permanent customer

Annie Thu Henrich: Modesto group helped couple in need
I have a story to share that lifts the spirit; a story many of us need to hear about some good, caring people in Modesto.
We are a French group called le Cercle des Amis. We have been together for the past 15 years with about 35 to 40 families who meet once a month to speak French, eat French food and enjoy a good time.
Two weeks ago, I got a call from a nurse at Memorial Medical Center asking for someone to translate English to French for a couple of French tourists. Apparently, the man fell gravely ill while visiting Yosemite and was taken to Memorial and had lapsed into a coma.
His wife was alone, spoke little English, and was very frightened. His prognosis was not good. I went immediately to Memorial and was able to reassure this woman that we would help her with anything she needed. Not to worry!
Our group translated the doctors' diagnoses, insurance issues and plane reservation cancellations. And we provided a place to stay while she waited to learn the outcome of her husband's health problem.
During the two weeks they were in Modesto, le Cercle des Amis was there all the way. They left last Sunday for France. They told us that without our help, they did not know what would have happened to them as they went through a scary situation in a foreign country where they did not fully understand the language. They will forever remember the hospital staff and all the wonderful Americans they met who helped them through their nightmare.
Our group will get together today to celebrate Bastille Day (July 14), the French National Day.

Looks like Adam Levine has no more love for The Voice season one champ Javier Colon.
On Tuesday night's elimination show as the contestants are whittled down to the final four, last year's finalists will return to the stage!
"Everyone is so excited," a source tells RadarOnline.com, explaining that Team Blake Shelton's Dia Frampton will sing with Kid Cudi, Team Christina Aguilera's Beverly McClellan will sing with Cyndi Lauper, Team CeeLo Green's Vicci Martinez will sing with her former coach, and Javier will be singing alone.
The 34-year-old singer will return to the stage to perform his new single, A Drop in the Ocean, but unlike the other finalists, Javier won't be joined by any famous crooners.
PHOTOS: The Name Game – Celebs Who've Changed Their Names
"The show wants to make it seem like since Javier is the winner he can carry his own performance without a celebrity by his side," a source says. "But that's not really the case."
According to the source, Javier approached his old coach Adam about singing backup vocals or playing the drums during his performance, but Adam rejected the idea.
PHOTOS: Beauty Queens Turned Actresses
"Adam said he would only consider collaborating with Javier for the performance if it was a cover. Not his original song," the source explained. "Javier wouldn't budge and neither would Adam."
The Maroon 5 frontman's lack of support for his winner, stems from Javier's post-Voice success – or lack of.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's New Beach Boys
"Javier has been a disappointment," the source explains. "He wouldn't take any direction with his album, so it flopped. He has such an amazing voice but his attitude is holding him back."
Sales for Colon's debut album were disappointing, with Frampton outselling him.
PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes at American Idol
Javier denies the report of a rift between him and Levine, telling RadarOnline.com: "Adam and I never discussed performing a duet. In fact, for anyone who knows my music, and the new single that I'll be performing tonight on The Voice, knows it is a song that can only be sung with one voice. Adam has always been supportive of me; and, we are looking forward to collaborating on future projects. In fact, I'm excited to say that I'll be performing on tour dates with Maroon 5."

Connelly's Top Ten: Patriots Day Weekend! | 2014-2015 NBA Expert Picks Results | 2015 NHL Expert Playoff Picks: First Round | Aaron Hernandez Found Guilty of First-Degree Murder in Death of Odin Lloyd |
Hoping that a little home cooking will help the team get back to some winning ways, the Bruins (39-22-10) kick off a three-game homestand tonight on Causeway Street when they host the resurgent New Jersey Devils (34-34-4) at TD Garden.
The Bruins are reeling after an embarrassing 5-2 loss Saturday night up in Toronto. Winners of just one of their last seven contests (1-3-3), Boston's Northeast Division lead has been cut to a single point over Montreal entering tonight's action. While the B's do have two games in hand over the Habs, if Montreal can beat the Sabres tonight and Boston doesn't get the job done at home against New Jersey, Boston will relinquish the division lead and face an uphill climb from here on in.
As for the Devils, they have made a miraculous turnaround as of late, after starting the season a dreadful 10-29-2. Since then, they've ripped off an impressive 24-5-2 mark, bringing them back to the .500 level and relevant again in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Sitting in 11th place right now in the East, New Jersey finds themselves with seven points to make up in order to catch eighth place Buffalo. The Devils have made the playoffs for 13 straight seasons, so while they have a ton of work to do to keep that streak alive, their outlook is a lot rosier than it was a few months ago.
It's been a while since these two squads faced each other, so let's get you reacquainted with tonight's opponent with tonight's pre-game notes…

Bennett, Tony; Savage, Mike; Silva, Elizabeth; Warde, Alan; Gayo-Cal, Modesto and Wright, David (2009). Culture, Class, Distinction. CRESC: Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change. London: Routledge.
URL: | http://www.routledge.com |
Google Scholar: | Look up in Google Scholar |
Culture, Class, Distinction contributes to international debates regarding the role of cultural capital in relation to modern forms of inequality. Drawing on a national study of the organisation of cultural practices in contemporary Britain, the authors review Bourdieu's classic study of the relationships between culture and class in the light of subsequent debates.
In doing so they re-appraise the relationships between class, gender and ethnicity, music, film, television, literary, and arts consumption, the organisation of sporting and culinary practices, and practices of bodily and self maintenance. As the most comprehensive account to date of the varied interpretations of cultural capital that have been developed in the wake of Bourdieu's work, Culture, Class, Distinction offers the first systematic assessment of the relationships between cultural practice and the social divisions of class, gender and ethnicity in contemporary Britain.

Patronage I: The Western World from Ancient Greece until 1900
Hadrian became actively engaged in many of the projects that he commissioned. For the statues of Antinous and other sculptural commissions, Hadrian strongly encouraged artists to utilize a style evocative of Greek art of the classical period. Some scholars have suggested that he promoted this style because he believed that classical Greek culture had provided a more receptive environment for same-sex love. Abundant documentary evidence indicates that Hadrian personally designed the unique umbrella domes (composed of concave segments) and other architectural features of his villa, built 118-134 at Tivoli, a hillside town about 37 km. east of Rome. Exploiting the distinctive properties of concrete, the walls of the villa buildings are constructed as a series of sweeping curves. The villa complex integrated constructed and natural elements to an unprecedented extent; for instance, a dining room opens on three sides to fountains and gardens. Scattering statues of beautiful youths throughout the grounds, Hadrian created a utopian setting that celebrates same-sex eroticism. Visualizing Queer Love and Desire in Early Modern Europe In later centuries, due to increasing prohibitions on expressions of same-sex love and desire, even powerful rulers were unable to celebrate same-sex love in public monuments of the sort that Hadrian erected. However, the memory of his achievements directly inspired such leaders as Frederick II, King of Prussia, called the Great (1712-1786). When he was eighteen years old, Frederick's father compelled him to witness the beheading of his companion and probable lover, Hans van Katte, an army officer. After this experience, Frederick understandably sought to shield his love for other men from scrutiny by others. He commissioned the Sans Souci palace complex at Potsdam (1745-47) as a refuge from the pressures of public life, where he could relax with his closest friends. In planning Sans Souci, which consists of several imaginatively designed structures, dispersed throughout an immense garden in the suburbs of Potsdam, Frederick referred to the extensive drawings that Hadrian made of Tivoli. An avid collector of ancient art, Frederick decorated both the interior spaces and the gardens with Greek and Roman statues of beautiful youths, including several of Antinous. Many of these pieces were obtained through archaeological excavations, which he personally sponsored. Both the interior and exterior of the "Friendship Temple" were decorated with images of various mythological figures (for instance, Orestes and Pylades) associated with same-sex love. The complex at Sans Souci reflects the image of the ancient world as a queer utopia, which inspired queer patrons in later centuries. James (1566-1625), King of Scotland (as James VI, from 1567) and of England (as James I, from 1603), commissioned portraits to commemorate his deeply felt, romantic attachments to other men. After 1606, James lived apart from his wife, Anne of Denmark (1574-1619; married 1586), but he continued to enjoy a close friendship with her. James's relationships with his favorites were an "open secret" at court, and he provoked comment by kissing and embracing them in public. His longest affair was with George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), whom he addressed as "sweet child and wife." In his passionate and prolific correspondence with Buckingham, James repeatedly discusses the intense pleasure he derived from gazing at portraits of his beloved. James mentions both life-size images, displayed in his private rooms, and miniatures, which he wore on his person. Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify which of his many portraits of Buckingham were most inspiring to James. William Larkin's portrait of Buckingham (1616, now in the National Portrait Gallery, London; formerly in the royal collection) reveals the "angelic beauty," elegance, and sweet temperament, which James praised so eloquently in his letters. James's affair with Buckingham was celebrated in several court masques, but, perhaps wary of public scandal, he did not commemorate their love in a major public monument. Challenging Gender Conventions Nothing is known with certainty about the possible personal attachments of James's predecessor as ruler of England, Elizabeth I (1533-1603; reigned 1558-1603), though it is likely that she conducted several romantic affairs with men, most notably the Earl of Essex. Although there were rumors that love for women caused her to reject proposals of marriage, she probably refused to marry simply because she did not want to share her power with a husband. Whatever her personal life, Elizabeth I deserves a place in any consideration of queer patronage because of her promotion of portrait imagery that explicitly synthesized gender conventions of the Renaissance era. Aware that purchases of works of art might be regarded as frivolous by taxpayers, Elizabeth encouraged courtiers and others seeking her favor to commission portraits of her and to present them to her as gifts. Although not technically the patron, she supervised the activities of both artists and their paying clients to make sure that the portraits fulfilled her requirements.

Champion competitive marksman ken comes across an armored van robbery. He sees a policeman held hostage and shoots and kills four of the robbers. One of the robbers escapes and the policeman survives. The case is handled by jerry chang, whom ken knows from having recently beaten him in a shooting match. |
Editor's Note
This crime saga stars Louis Koo as Ken Kwan, a professional competitive marksman who swings into action when he stumbles onto an armored van robbery, where five robbers are holding a policeman hostage. He shoots and slays four of the robbers (a fifth one escapes) and saves the policeman. Events take an interesting turn when anew officer assumes responsibility for the case - Officer Jerry Chong (Daniel Wu). Although he and Ken were initially in fierce competition during a competitive shooting match, they subsequently became friends. The situation involving the armored van stirs up a great deal of controversy surrounding Ken; the courts declare him not guilty and the media deems him a hero. Not long after, however, Ken gets attacked by the fifth robber, Pang Tao - which sets into motion a complicated series of events and pits Ken and Jerry against one another once again, in a fearless battle of wits.

Question for developers-Why don't you offer more trials
I know this topic has been brought up in the past but I would like to open it again and get some developers involved. As someone who developed PC software (average price about $29.95) up to about 5 years ago, I have to tell you when we finally offered trials, our sales tripled almost overnight. And protecting PC software from pirates is a lot tougher than protecting an app from what I can understand. Also, the numbers in mobile apps are huge and will only get larger.
I am presently on the fence on a few apps, most of which are in the $4+ range. No big deal right? Yes, it is, because if an app doesn't deliver I feel I have been taken and pride trumps dollars-in this price range anyway.
If a trial isn't offered, I have this feeling of why not? What's the developer scared of revealing? I can see why established apps with a lot of good reviews don't do it-but even some of the really good established ones (eg Files 'n Folders) offer a trial which I downloaded and bought as soon as I realized it did what they said.
What about it developers? Why not more trial offers?
I'm almost tempted to come out of retirement and get back into the game because marketing is where it's at as long as you have a decent product. Nahhhh-I'm having too much fun being a demanding consumer which is the reason I lost a lot of sleep at night when I was on the other side. -
Good question. For some insane reason, RIM have recently pulled the plug on Try & Buy apps. They say too few vendors used that model. In my opinion, that means they should do more to promote it & make it easy for developers to adopt Try & Buy. Not deprecate it.
We've reluctantly had to convert Files & Folders to separate try and buy versions, which is a step back both in user experience and app management.ORBIT for BB10 - The World In Your Pocket - World, Time, Weather in spectacular 3D. Demo on our site!

It might help if developers could put a short demo on YouTube or their own site - I know several do this. RIM needs bigger screenshots too.
Well, as stated earlier RIM is getting rid of Try&Buy licensing. It's deprecated now, and developers can no longer add Try&Buy releases. But even when it was available, it did not work well. App World sometimes installed the trial version after customers paid for it, for example. One kind of app that never did free trials would be games: once you've played it, why buy it?
- 07-20-12, 11:28 PM Thread Author #5
So I am seeing RIM being blamed for this problem. I'm not saying you're wrong but these kind of statements would be more credible if I saw some actual quotes from RIM about "deprecation." Regardless, developers should be doing everything they can to sell more of their apps and the suggestion about Youtube videos is certainly on the right track. I think developers need more sense of urgency when it comes to marketing. Right now the whole scene reminds me of the song "57 channels and nothing on."
From the App World Vendor Portal 3.1.4 release notes:
Try & Buy License Type is now depreciated:
You can no longer select Try & Buy as a License Type for new Products.
If you have an existing BlackBerry Tablet OS Try & Buy Product, you will be unable to submit new Releases.
There is a pretty critical thread about it here:

I think that it is too easy for armchair critics to make suggestions about how to increase my sales. Since I posted my app for sale at the lowest possible price a year ago, it has gathered over 300 really good reviews and a near five-star rating. I can tell you that I have been expending huge efforts in marketing my app. Even so, when it is not on the featured page, sales are dismal. Right now the whole scene reminds me of the song "15,000 apps but no one is buying".
"Blame" is not the right word but until RIM starts selling PlayBooks and other BB10 devices in huge numbers, it really doesn't matter how good my app is or how many videos that I post on YouTube. Developers have a reasonable expectation that App World should be their primary marketing tool and right now it is not working out all that well for most of us. This is not a complaint - it is a fact.
Competition for your attention is fierce - it is a case of too many developers getting only tiny slices of a small pie. In such a saturated market, having "more sense of urgency when it comes to marketing" would be an exercise in futility. It is far more profitable for me to look to the long term and work on my BB10 offerings. This is where I choose to spend my time.
I am still confident that RIM can turn their fortunes around. Ironically, their efforts to do so have affected my bottom line. Currently it is so easy for new developers to port their iOS, Android and open-source desktop apps to this platform that consumers now have several excellent astronomy apps to choose from - and more are arriving each week. I can only speak for myself but I suspect that my situation applies to most developers and most genres. It is a buyers' market and I hope that people will take this opportunity to search App World (even if it does take take a little effort) and perhaps purchase some of the bargains that are available. - 07-21-12, 07:45 AM #8
It's tough to bring this up without being accused of 'whining' about price. But the fact is a lot of apps are more expensive for Playbook (and I am not referring to games, I know HD versions are the same across platforms), and there are less options for each app. I constantly use the option to try trial versions of apps on iOS to decide what to buy. And there are apps that generally run under $2. So when it comes to buying apps that are running more in the $2.99 and up range, yes, I'd like to be able to try them out. No, it's not a ton of money, but that doesn't mean I just want to throw it away.
Whatever the reasons for trial versions not being available, I'd have to guess it's a hinderance for people coming from other platforms when buying BB/Playbook apps because they are so used to having that option. I know it is in my case. - 07-21-12, 08:29 AM #9
But as others have pointed out, RIM is making it very difficult for us to offer trials. I can tell you from experience that trying to maintain a free or cripple-ware or limited-time app as a separate entity is a royal pain. And this model is not a magical formula to increase sales or improve customer satisfaction.
I hope that someday, RIM sees the wisdom of making it easier for consumers to get a refund within a very limited time-frame. Even this approach is not an "ultimate" solution to the problem unless and until RIM also fixes the review and support processes. I could talk for hours about this but the topic has been fully covered in other treads in this forum. - 07-21-12, 08:29 AM #10
Buzz, I got your app early on when there were very few app of any type. But how do you get more/better exposure in appworld or elsewhere. I do not know the apple/android sales models but are they designed better or differently? How does their developers get exposure. I will say that the small images shown in appworld really don't do it when I don't already know the app.
I know the Search is pretty awful in some cases if I put in part of a known app, I do NOT find it.
But what else can be done - not that rim will enact any of your suggestions but I'm curious. - 07-21-12, 08:57 AM #11
If i had to choose between two apps , and one has a trial or a lite version, its more likely that i would buy the one i tried(if i liked it,of course) rather than the other.
Now, if both have a test version, i would try them both and then decide.
It probably would delay the buy but would enable it...

There is no doubt that RIM has to fix the search mechanism and make it possible for potential buyers to filter out stuff that they don't have any interest in. We have discussed the topic of unwanted app tonnage created by developers who flood the place with e-books and the like. We have also talked about improve the review and support processes so that they can be used effectively in marketing our apps. When users contact my support email address, I spend a lot of time explaining how to complete installations and deal with App World glitches and very little talking about problems related to my app.
But even if RIM did the work required, the major problem is still a simple case of numbers of potential buyers - or more properly, lack of potential customers. Android and iOS developers obviously don't have the same problem that I do. Nor do devs who offer BB 6 and 7 apps
RIM never misses a chance to tell us that there are 75 million BB users out there and that 13% of BB developers are earning over $100,000. Unfortunately for some of us, the user-base are still using an obsolete legacy operating system.
The reason I am so upset at RIM's failure to deliver BB10 devices is that I have been anticipating a huge jump in sales with minimal additional work on my part. My marketing plan was to be ready for a user-base that has not materialized. So while PB users have several fine astronomy apps from which to choose, 9900 users, for example, have none.
I am currently writing a Java version to mitigate the problem of lagging sales. It's tough to find time and my heart isn't really in it but I am making steady progress. It shouldn't have come to this but at least I have the skills required to take advantage of this "opportunity". Most other new PB developers are not so lucky. -
I am only giving the experiences of one consumer (myself). 90% of apps I have bought for iOS, I have bought a Pro version after using a trial. I wouldn't have bought those apps if there was no trial. There are Playbook apps I have not bought because I can't try them first. It's a common topic, so clearly a lot of other people feel the same way. So it has to be having some effect on sales.
I am not blaming the developers for this because I have read in other threads there are App World issues, just discussing it. It's a crappy situation. - 07-21-12, 10:06 AM #14
I understand your perspective. Like you, I am also only relating my own experience for your consideration. When I had my separate trial app (the only option now available) a large number of customers downloaded it and for one reason or another felt compelled to write a bad review. In many cases, it was pure maliciousness. I got many 1-star reviews because the app didn't have "point and view" which was an impossibility at the time,. The app's deficiencies were clearly outlined in the description in App World, so people should have known exactly what they were getting. (and what was "missing"). In other cases, the user made an error of some sort and gave up (after telling the world that the app was useless). Nobody ever contacted my support email address for assistance with install problems. The average star-rating was 3.
In contrast, the paid version (exactly the same app) got a much higher proportion of good reviews and thoughtful comments. I received no reviews less than 4 stars. Unlike with the trial version, I got quite a few requests for support for installation problems and other App World glitches. It was obvious to me that the trial version was a net liability and so after much consideration, I removed the trial version. My sales actually increased as a result. - 07-21-12, 11:03 AM #15
Your is a $1 app, which makes it competitive with apps on another platforms. And at $1, I would be willing to buy it without a trial. I don't want to get into too many details with your specific app, but I have SkyView on iOS which allows me to track objects like satellites and the space station as well as planets/stars etc, which I don't think your app does. That is the only reason I have not purchased your app. If I am wrong, or if your app plans to offer this feature, I will buy it.
But many apps for Playbook cost twice what comparable apps on other platforms cost, or more. And when people don't even have the option to try the apps out in that price range, then that is going to make them hesitant to buy them. I am only pointing out that while developers can judge sales increase and decreases, they can't judge the customer base they might be missing out on because of lack of trials. When you get into apps in the $4.99 price range, people are going to be hesitant to buy them with no trial.
And before people bring up the 'cheap' point, the price itself is not the point. When people know there are half dozen apps for other platforms for half the price, and trial versions, it's reasonable to wonder why the Playbook alternative is twice the price and be hesitant to buy it.Last edited by torndownunit; 07-21-12 at 11:10 AM.
I'm with you on this one!
There are some very expensive apps for PB which don't have a trial version, like Pacemaker(20�), Pocket RPG(4,5�) and much, much more that i cant remember right now...
I bought the RPG at my own risk, but i will never do that again(not because of the game, because i loved it), since maybe next time i wont be that lucky...
If u have a great app to show, a trial version would bring you more profit,even with some bad reviews, since everybody knows that trial/lite versions arent as good as the full ones...

OK I hear a lot of probably justified frustration here and I get what you are saying. I don't think I qualify as an arm chair critic as I was in PC software development over 20 years and only got out because we sold the company a few years ago.
All successful software developers spend as much or more time on marketing than on development. I know this both from personal experience and the dozens of conferences I've attended over the years. Social media is a godsend for marketing today and relying solely on RIM or any other hardware supplier to be your main marketing strategy is an invitation to disaster.
I'll leave you with 2 quotes we had on posters all over our offices and I figure taking them to heart is the reason I could retire at 54:
"Before you create any more great content, figure out how you are going to market it first."
"Unrelenting, take no excuses testing is the last step on the road to financial success. Creative marketing is the first." - 07-21-12, 05:23 PM #18
Exactly, I've now dropped my app's from the store now because it's just not worth maintaining the PB releases at this moment in time.
If I did offer trial versions for each app that's x2 PB apps to support for no gain. The most expensive was 1.99 ( the others .99 ) each with good reviews and youtube videos etc - So very doubt much trials would have had an impact at all really.
But just general observation really - It's a bizarre world with software these days, people want trials/hours of game-play/many levels/additional free content for .99c (or even less).
�8 ( $12 ) on an film ticket that turns out meh is no big woop, but �2.50 ( $4 ) on some software that is scrutinised down to the last byte - and if not perfect in every way can bring torrent of 1 star reviews/scam/missing a feature that was never advertised so 1 star/refund me now/ from some very angry people - 07-21-12, 05:46 PM #19
Pricing wise, I guess the issue stems from that people are used to paying low prices for very very good iOS and Android Apps. EG, I Tunein Radio Pro, an App I absolutely love on iOS, is what I consider to be pretty close to a perfect app and is $1. The only app that has a similar feature set for Playbook is Nobex radio which not only has a higher price, but charges a monthly subscription fee. But, there are also about 3-4 other very good internet radio apps in the same price range I could use for iOS. There isn't really anything on Playbook. I am a consumer, not a developer so I'll admit I can't understand the logistics. I only see what I am buying, and as a consumer it can be frustrating.
I like my Playbook, and in the end I will pay more for a Playbook app and support someone developing for Playbook. But, I would LIKE that app to at least have a comparable feature set to the apps on the other platforms that cost less, and in a lot of cases they don't. And with no trials, it can be tough to figure this out.
But, thanks to this thread at least now I know why there are so few trials available. Good info to know.Last edited by torndownunit; 07-21-12 at 05:49 PM.

07-21-12, 06:00 PM #20Its hard to cheat people out of their money when you offer trials.
For what i understood the major problem for devs is the lack of consumers(the major prob for users is the lack of apps; and there goes a loop...). A broader consumer basis should make the apps price go down.
But that's not our fault! The ones in the active don't need to have questions marks in their heads everytime they look at a new(and maybe much needed) app.
For now we need those trials.
Maybe a 1h trial , depending on what the app should do.
Or paid trials, where u purchase half of the features for half the price and then choose (or not) to upgrade to the full one. Its more work for the devs, but then again, no pain no gain
And, the reviews should be changed too - The user should rate every(said to be) feature. This way, other users would be able the check if their most needed feature/s work fine or not. And the reviewer should also state their equipment - A lot of 5 stars apps dont work on my 8520.
The stars and the descriptions shouldnt be changed of course.
Has i stated , im a trial supporter, but still i try to see the devs side!

I find the reviews absurd in a lot of cases. In many cases the reviewers are giving a 5 star review simply because an app is just available for Playbook. If you compared it to other apps in the same category available for other platforms though, there is no way the apps are deserving of a 5 star review. People hand out 5 star reviews like candy in app world.
I just hate it when someone you don't know and who does not know you gives advice like this. I don't mean to be ungrateful, but it is just a tad rude and condescending. Developing software for a device like the PB is NOTHING like developing traditional software for a PC. I know. I worked in the IT department of a large financial institution for 25 years before I was downsized, re sized and declared redundant. I found happiness in developing Java web apps and have been doing this for about ten years now. I have carried my habit of trying to predict future conditions and adjusting my marketing strategy accordingly. I never offer potential users a half-baked product - my apps always exploit the full potential of the platform that they are running on. My products always work exactly as advertised.
The truth is that selling apps for a brand new device is bound to be a huge disappointment unless you go int it with your eyes wide open. You need to do extensive research into this business and more or less unlearn most practices that might have been useful in a previous life. You are competing with iOS and Android developers whether you like it or not and this is especially problematic if your chosen platform is less than perfect. You need to develop a thick skin and tread very lightly. When a customer tells you point blank that your app sucks in comparison to the iOS product, you have to take it on the chin and smile broadly.
My skin is thinner than usual today and I do apologize but I feel that I must communicate some of the facts of life. Mistake one was to drop my initial plans to make a Java app and sell it to BB smart phone users. Mistake two was assuming that RIM would actually connect the magnetometer with an AIR API so that I could actually use it. It went downhill from there when I soon realized that RIM was not going deliver any great number of customers customers to me according to my assumptions.
My point is this: Conventional wisdom that applies to a large mature market like iOS does not necessarily apply to a small transitional market like PB App World. I had already taken your advice about the importance of clever marketing even though at times it seemed pointless. Offering a trial was part of that strategy but that didn't work out so well. - 07-22-12, 09:02 AM #24
I am hoping you are not referring to my comments with the "app sucks compared to iOS" comments. You were using your application as an example, and I was only stating why I personally had not bought your app yet. Your app looks as good as the iOS apps I have, but is simply missing a big function that they have (tracking other objects) at this point so in my case it wouldn't make sense to buy a 3rd app. If you are going to keep using your own application as an example, then is it fair that I reply? I don't think I was being rude in any way? If I was, I am sorry.
And again, your app is not really a good example of 'the problem'. Your app is competitively priced and is clearly attempting to offer a product that matches up to products on other platforms. Your app is more an example of things done right. Most of us discussing the lack of trial problems here are referring to applications that cost several time what similar applications on other platforms cost. The App store generally offers horrible screenshots, what I consider to be a sub-standard review system, and very few trials. This makes it tough as a consumer to just throw money down on the apps because you have more of a chance of being burned. - 07-22-12, 03:52 PM #25
I'm really just not convinced it's worth the effort. Ideally I could upload a normal, full-featured version of my app to BlackBerry App World, select "Trial for X days" and put in the price of my app ($1.99). The packaging by App World would then go ahead and let that app be used for X days, and then expire.
However, as far as I am aware, that's not how it worked - it was up to the developer to write the code to enable trial mode. That's a lot of work. Instead I've decided to create a product website and am trying to get it featured in the store. It's hard to argue that with the limited install base of the PlayBook that it's really worth spending the extra time and effort. -

what grip do the pros use?

Where are you getting this info?
Yeah, what he says corroborates with what JY is saying. 3.5 = edge between bevels 3 and 4. Now, I'm sure he adjusts the grip against surface, and so he may have a more true SW grip on clay. But it's basically closer to Eastern grip than SW. It's counterintuitive, but again JY has the analysis and video footage to back up what he's saying.
Fed's FH swing is really weird; it's got classic and modern elements mixed in a way that is counterintuitive. Like, for example, he closes the face with that Eastern grip, so that he has lively wrist action when the swing goes forward.
There's really good reasons why the rest of the field simply cannot replicate the shots Fed can do. Fed's FH is not merely the most advanced FH in the game. It's literally an evolutionary step forward in the way Borg's FH was in his day. But there's also good reasons why 99% of other people shouldn't try what he does. And there it makes more sense to use a SW grip as what Hewittfan is saying.

Chapter Three - New Beginnings and the Start of a New Season
This nurse helps Jake learn to love and learn to love the game again.Jake regained consciousness to the sight of a blurry figure standing over him and a warm hand on his wrist taking his pulse. His vision gradually came into focus until he could make out a gorgeous African American woman standing next to him in a nurse's uniform. He was lying on his back in a hospital bed, much of his body covered in bandages. He tried to move and the woman grimaced."Stay still," she said in a cool and sensual voice, "the doctor bandaged you up just a few minutes ago, we don't want them coming off now do we?"
There was a note of hostility in her voice.
"Why are you mad at me?" Jake managed to say around a mouthful of gauze.
"Oh," she said with a mock smile, "I ain't mad at you, but I just don't necessarily like a guy who comes in with a hunk of wood that says 'Nigger Lover' on it."
The nurse hurried out of the room, leaving Jake embarrassed. Over the coming weeks of rehabilitation and splinter-removal operations Jake saw more and more of the nurse, whose name turned out to be Margaret "Marge" Washington. He explained the name on the bat and his racist ghost father and the wall between them was gradually torn down. It felt strange given his upbringing, but as she cared for him and assisted him in his physical therapy he could not deny the attraction he felt towards her.
When Jake was finally released he asked Marge out and she agreed. Their romance soon bloomed and as the season was scheduled to begin, with Jake fully recovered, Marge and Jake finally consummated their relationship. It was not without some rockiness, as this was like the 70s or 15 years after when he was nine or whatever, so people would hurl rotten fruit at them in public sometimes.
The morning of his first game of the season Jake was shaving in the locker room, as he looked into the steam-soaked mirror he caught a strange glowing blue reflection. He spun to be greeted by the glowering spectral face of his still drunken ghost dad.
"You sumbitch," slurred his father, "shackin' up with a Negroid, I told you not to mix vanilla and chocolate."
"No you didn't," responded Jake indignantly.
"Shut up you aren't the boss of me," groaned his father. "Now listen good boy, you best not mess up this season because this is the big time. If you screw up and your contract doesn't get renewed I am going to fulfill my promise of hauntin' you."
Jake went out to the first game of the season, the coach and the other players inquired about his recovery, then he proceeded to strike out three times. The next game he struck out each time at the plate as well. This continued on and on, and by the half way point of the season Jake had only earned a single run and only gotten on base three times. He was becoming the worst player on the team, one of the worst in all of professional baseball. The team owners were beginning to grumble about him to the manager and coach and some of this trickled down to Jake. The coach blamed a weak arm, a bad back-swing, a need for "more hustle". Jake knew it was his loss of Nigger Lover and the power it contained.
One evening towards the end of the season the coach called him into his office.
"Jake," said the coach with a grim expression, "have a seat."
Jake took off his hat and sat down.
"What is it coach?" Jake asked with more than a little anxiety.
"I'm going to give you one last chance tomorrow Jake," explained the coach. "The owners want to cut you loose, but I told them to give you one more shot at proving yourself. We're up against the Kansas City Brewer Rascals for a chance to go to the World Series. It's an important game, but I'm going to give you this one final opportunity to shine."
Jake swallowed.
"You've got a lot of heart kid," said the coach. "Now go home, get some sleep, and come back tomorrow ready for a fresh start."

Great (End of) Summer Reads
August 17, 2012 in Authors - Other, General, Writing - One comment
I cannot believe it's August already! Where did summer go?
Things have been so crazy lately between editing Soul Avenged and writing Requiem. I've also been working on a little side project, a story for an anthology that I'll discuss in a later post. Unfortunately, all this craziness (in addition to some summer plans) has left me little time to read. Read more…

Only the latter usually also want to see the documentation of the implementation. Being able to generate both kinds of documentations without having to write extra annotations would be a big help! That's why I am a bit reluctant about cdk_doc, because it only addresses the library user's point of view. Ocamlweb could probably (please correct me if I am wrong) be turned into a general tool much more easily than the other approaches I have seen. Any chance that it (or something similar) could ever get the status of a standard tool (which cdk_doc seems to be targeting)?

O.K. guys, yesterday I made a run to Whole Foods for pasta and they moved the whole blasted store around so I cornered an employee and asked about the pasta and gluten free bagels. She says to me "Oh, we now carry Kinnikinick baked goods in our freezer. So I got my pasta and some bagels. I was trying to make bagel chips so I could have some chex mix, gluten free. I have the rest of the ingredients but no bagel chips. So check your local Whole Foods they may just now carry Kinnikinick. Shirley

Nationally, the average age of a child waiting to find a home is 8 years old.
Once children are free to be adopted, the wait can take as long as two years.
"In New York state, more and more we're seeing children over the age of 13 coming into [foster] care sometimes for the first time," said Onondaga County Family Court Judge Martha Walsh Hood. "Sadly, many children age out of the system without ever being adopted."
Thousands of children come into [foster] care every year for various reasons including abuse, neglect or abandonment, she added. Through foster and adoption programs, such as those offered by the Onondaga County Department of Social Services, the chance for these children to either be reunified with their biological parents (this occurs about 53 percent of the time) or to find alternate nurturing homes proves increasingly hopeful, and successful.
In the past decade, about 30,000 children have been adopted throughout the country on National Adoption Day, which was held Nov. 19 this year. There were 54 adoptions from Onondaga, Lewis, Oneida and Oswego counties.
"National Adoption Day is actually my favorite day of the year," said Walsh-Hood, who spearheaded the annual event nine years ago in Onondaga County. "To me, it's actually magical because we're creating forever families on the Friday before Thanksgiving, which is a holiday season we usually spend with our own families, giving thanks for our blessings."
One couple blessed this year with a new son is the Conleys of LaFayette. Three years ago, when Wendell and JoAnn became certified foster parents, they met who would become their third child, 4-year-old Dallas. On Nov. 19, it became official.
His father said Dallas is an upbeat, enthusiastic boy who loves to learn.
"His vocabulary is excellent," Wendell said. "When he came into the program, he was very behind and he's doing quite well now. In first grade, he's made a lot of strides."

Variation in Susceptibility to Hurricane Damage as a Function of Storm Intensity in Puerto Rican Tree Species
Canham, Charles D.; Thompson, Jill; Zimmerman, Jess K.; Uriarte, Maria. 2010 Variation in Susceptibility to Hurricane Damage as a Function of Storm Intensity in Puerto Rican Tree Species. Biotropica, 42 (1). 87-94. 10.1111/j.1744-7429.2009.00545.x
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract/Summary
One of the most significant challenges in developing a predictive understanding of the long-term effects of hurricanes on tropical forests is the development of quantitative models of the relationships between variation in storm intensity and the resulting severity of tree damage and mortality. There have been many comparative studies of interspecific variation in resistance of trees to wind damage based on aggregate responses to individual storms. We use a new approach, based on ordinal logistic regression, to fit quantitative models of the susceptibility of a tree species to different levels of damage across an explicit range of hurricane intensity. Our approach simultaneously estimates both the local intensity of the storm within a plot and the susceptibility to storm damage of different tree species within plots. Using the spatial variation of storm intensity embedded in two hurricanes (Hugo in 1989 and Georges in 1998) that struck the 16 ha Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot in eastern Puerto Rico, we show that variation in susceptibility to storm damage is an important aspect of life history differentiation. Pioneers such as Cecropia schreberiana are highly susceptible to stem damage, while the late successional species Dacryodes excelsa suffered very little stem damage but significant crown damage. There was a surprisingly weak relationship between tree diameter and the susceptibility to damage for most of the 12 species examined. This may be due to the effects of repeated storms and trade winds on the architecture of trees and forest stands in this Puerto Rican subtropical wet forest.
